| Abstract. | The purpose of this research involves the realization of a relative model of preparation for the position of Point Guard by developing and experimenting with a didactic strategy of individualised training for the position, taking into account the functional and motor particularities specific for this age. For each playing position, means and methods of carrying out sports training must be established, in this case Point Guards position, strategies that ensure the efficient fulfilment of tasks and responsibilities by the occupant of this playing position. The characteristics of the basketball game specific to the position of Point Guard, at the U16-U17 category, involves the creation of a specific physical training program, with well-defined elements that lead to the growth and development of motor skills and sports performance during competitions also it must be adapted according to the morpho-functional requirements of individuals, physical and mental capacities at the level of this age category. In conclusion, the training for the Point Guard at this age must be correlated with the complex, bio-psycho-social changes of the individual, which take place within human development, which involves an extensive and complex physical exercise programme able to contribute to the development of the basketball player’s capacities and skills. |
